We arrived in Titusville at approximately 1530 on Monday. Again lots of beautiful scenery and dophin appearances. We had dinner with Dennis and Trudy on their boat. Trudy did an excellent Mexican cuisine with enchiladas and tostitoes with homemade salsa and guocamole and refried beans. Everything was delicious. We didn't get back to our boat until almost 2300 which was well past cruisers midnight. Those Groom's are a bad influence on us (like we need anyone to twist our arms). Yesterday we explored Titusville and walked a couple of miles to the Publix grocery store. We opted to take a bus back which proved to be quite interesting and LONG. We took the scenic route. Between the wait for the bus and the actual ride we could have walked back to the Marina, dinghyed out to our boat, put the groceries away and had lunch. But it was fun!
Steve and I decided to get a slip at the Marina for a week and go to the Miller's house (Michele's sister) for Christmas. Beth and the kids will come to the boat on Friday afternoon and sleep over. We'll tour the Kennedy Space Station at Cape Canaveral on Saturday and then head back to Lutz (just north of Tampa) to spend the holidays. And we don't even have to rent a car :). Since the weather has finally warmed up (yesterday 80 degrees), we decided it's okay to stay here for a few days. Titusville is also the shortest distance to Tampa, so it's a great place to hook up the with family and spend Christmas.
After showering at the Marina we saw a manatee just floating around the docks (I imagine it was asleep). There were also tons of fish swimming around and a dolphin even came in for visit. I'm so surprised that they come right into the marina and just hang around between the boats in slips.
Today we are just hanging out at an Internet Cafe. Trudy and Dennis have friends they are meeting in town today and then heading out tomorrow. We will be sad to part company with them, but we're hopeful to run into them in the Bahamas.
In case I don't write for a few days, hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
